Bottled my first beer today.
When I started brewing I went straight to kegging and I've been pouring straignt out of the keg since. Sometimes it would be nice to carry some with me or give some away to friends, this didn't work well the keg.
I bought a BeerGun, and finialy got it hooked up ( They don't give you a Tee for the gas line in the hook up kit. (wonder why? )
Anyway it worked GREAT. I thought I might get too much foam, I usually do in my glass, that didn't happen. I turned the Gas down to 5 PSI like it said, and the bottles filled up of fine, only a little bit of foam.
How that I have it all hooked up I'm going to like having the option of bottles or keg.
Question:
How much headspace should I leave in the bottles?
